 Mir. Samuel Ellis buried little girl last week.

A tale is told of London clerk who
advocated "a fair division of property"
much to the disgust of his employer,
who is rabid Tory. The other day
the latter had reason to feel gratified
His clerk came to him, and said: 81
have found out, sir, that the division
of-property scheme is not quite so fair
as l thought it was. AT the last meet
ing l attended we calculated how
much there would be for every one
when everything was divided, and we
found it would be only seventy-five
pounds each, and, you know, sir, I
have one hundred pounds in the bank"

ERICSSON AND OLE BULL.
The Great violinst Charms the Mechani-
cian-A Triumph.

In conversation few evenings ago
distinguished chemist and physician,
who is also an enthusiastic and critical
lover. of music, told an interesting
story about Ole Bull and John Erics-
son, the great inventor.
1t seems that they were friends in
early life, but drifted apart and did not
meet again until each had become
famous Bull had charmed the ears of
admiring thousands all over the civil
lied world, while the part the great
mechanician played in naval warfare
during the rebellion reused the north
to enthusiasm and startled the world
Bull happened to be in New York
on concert tour, determined to look
up his old friends and renew the &C
quaintance. He found him in his
workshop surrounded by tools, machin-
cry, designs, models, and materials
used in mechanical constructions,
directing the labors of CORPS of as
sistants.
When taking his leave Bull invited
Ericsson to attend his concert that
night. Ericsson, however, declined,
! saying he had no time to waste.
Their acquaintance being thus re-
newed, Bull continued to call on his
old friend when visiting New York,
and usually when taking his leave
would ask Ericsson to attend his con-
cert, but Ericsson always declined the
invitation
Upon one occasion Bull pressed him
urgently, and said: eff you do not
come I shall bring my violin here and
play in your shop"
Ericsson replied gruf1y:
eff you bring the thing here I shall
smash it,
Here were two men the very oppo-
sites of each other. Bull an impulsive,
romantic dreamer; Ericsson stern,
thoughtful, practical, proving every
movement with mathematical preci-
sion.
Bulls curiosity was aroused to know
what effect music would have upon
the trim, matter of fact man of squares
and circles. So, taking his violin with
him, he went to Ericsson's shop. He
had removed the strings, screws and
apron, so that the violin would seem to
be in bad condition.
AS he entered the shop, noticing
displeased expression on Ericssons
face, Bull called his attention to GER
tain defects in the instrument, and,
speaking of it's construction asked
Ericsson about the scientific and accou-
site properties involved in the grain
of certain woods. From this he passed
on to discussion of sound waves,
tones, semitones, ETC.
To illustrate his meaning, he replaced
the strings, and, improvising few
chords, drifted into rich melody.
The workmen, charmed, dropped
their tools, and stood in silent wonder
He played on and on, and when
finally he ceased, Ericsson raised his
bowed head, and, with moist eyes,
said:
"Do not stop. Go on! Go on!

lacking in my life.'-Lowell Sun.
